Jerry Stackhouse says relationship, opportunity drew him to Vanderbilt coaching job Globe_Sports
Vanderbilt men's basketball coach Jerry Stackhouse, left, poses with athletics director Malcom Turner during a news conference in Nashville, Tenn., on April 8, 2019.Jerry Stackhouse had a couple interviews already lined up for possible NBA head coaching jobs. He says he decided to take a college job because of his relationship with Vanderbilt’s new athletic director and the opportunity to turnaround the Commodores men’s program.
“When Malcolm approached me about the possibility of this job and being here and everything all-encompassing with this university, it was hard for me to say no to him, and I’m super excited that they feel that I’m the guy to bring the magic back to Memorial and I’m truly excited about that,” Stackhouse said.His lone head coaching experience is two years in the G League where he got to know a fellow North Carolina graduate in Turner, who was the league’s president.
The Commodores also became the first SEC team in 65 years to go winless in league play, and the top-rated players already have left early for the NBA. Then he went 70-30 in two seasons with the Raptors 905, reaching the finals twice and winning a championship. He was the league’s coach of the year for 2016-17 when Turner presented him the trophy in his role as league president.
